6.6 Types Of Distinctions (Bheda)

Without contemplation on the meaning of Vedanta, no other method can bring about the supreme well being (kalyaana). And this thought arises with the hearning and contemplation of the "prasthaana-trayee" (Upanishad, Gita and Brahma Sootra). That knowledge by which we understand the illusory identity of all kinds of distinctions is the knowledge of Vedanta. There are five types of distinctions : (1) Individual soul-Ishvara (2) Individual soul-individual soul (3) Individual soul-World (4) Ishvara-individual soul (5) World-World.
